Feitian Exhibits At RSA 2016

Feitian and Az-Tech have been partners since 2002.
Each year, security experts from all over the world gather at the RSA Conference to obtain the latest tools and information to protect their organization and Customers. This year's theme was "Connect to Protect" and marked the 25th year of the conference with over 500 Exhibitors, 400+ Educational Sessions and a crowd of more than 33,000 Attendees.

Renew Success Messages Old and New
EverKey Release Version 6.7.3 adds some additional backward-compatibility and a little polish to the Version 6 Renew program.
Support was added for a new /T Command-Line option. This option specifies a Terse mode for messages so that the "Number of Days Added" or "Number of Runs Added" is not displayed once the Renew operation completes successfully. This is similar to the information displayed in the Version 2 Renew32 program. For Developers that don't wish to use a Command-Line option, the Terse mode will automatically be used if the Renew program is renamed to Reset.exe.
Also, the Error Summary Messages used in the Title Line was shortened so they were not truncated when certain Windows themes and fonts were being used. The full text explanation of the Error in the Message Box was not changed.
This Release supports all 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Windows XP-SP2 thru Windows 8.1, including Pro and Enterprise Editions. Windows RT (ARM Tablet) is not supported.

New EverKey Knowledgebase
All the latest EverKey documentation has now been added to an online knowledgebase available from the Az-Tech.com website. This includes Frequently Asked Questions, Helpful Tips and the complete User Guide.
The knowledgebase has an excellent Search Engine which makes it a lot easier to find answers to your questions or just learn about the many new features that have been added over the past year. Support for Mobile Devices was a primary consideration for selecting the new knowledgebase software. This means you can easily access the knowledgebase from any smartphone, tablet or computer.
If you can't find the information you need from the knowledgebase, you can now create a Support Ticket to address any question or problem. The Tickets are tracked and managed by our Support Staff, which is a big improvement over the previous system that used Email Forms.
At the Launch of the knowledgebase system, there are already a number of new Explanations and Tips and we will continue to add more information in the coming weeks. Also, in 2015, the system will be "re-skinned" to match the look and feel of the Az-Tech.com website.
Here is the link to the new EverKey Support Knowledgebase.
New C# Example Program
EverKey Version 6.7.2 was released with completely redesigned Example Source Code that demonstrates how to use the KeyChk DLL. The KeyChk DLL is used to check and verify the presence of your unique Keys.
The new Example Source Code is written in C#, C++ and Visual Basic and provided as Visual Studio 2010 Solutions. This version of Visual Studio was selected to allow compatibility with the largest number of Developers.
Now all Example programs use the same method of operation and display the same SCB fields with the same screen layout. The new programs are also heavily Commented to explain exactly what the code is doing.
The KeyChk Documention was also updated in this release to reflect some of the simplifications used by the new Example Source Code.
EverKey Version 6.7.2 supports all 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Windows XP-SP2 thru Windows 8.1, including Pro and Enterprise Editions. Windows RT (ARM Tablet) is not supported.

Now Choose From Seven Colors And Help Promote Breast Cancer Awareness |
||
RICHMOND, Missouri - October 1, 2014
EverKey Goes Pink! Az-Tech is introducing a new Pink EverKey Rockey4ND in recognition of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. The case is translucent and you can clearly see the internal circuitry surrounded by a Pink halo. Inside the case is the same great solid electronics of the proven driverless Rockey4ND. For each Pink Rockey4ND purchased, Az-Tech will donate $1 to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. During Breast Cancer Awareness Month (October), the donation will be doubled to $2 per Pink Rockey4ND sold. The mission of the Breast Cancer Research Foundation is to prevent and cure breast cancer by advancing the world's most promising research. So far, they have funded almost 9 million hours of research to not only find a cure for breast cancer, but improve the quality of care for those already affected. You can find out more information about this excellent organization here. 
The new Rockey4ND is available immediately as a stocked item, bringing the total number of translucent colors to seven; Green, Blue, Gray, Purple, Brown, Red and now Pink! As always, each one comes with a free matching Dust Cap and there is no charge for mixing colors in the same order. |

KeyBuild Gets Expiring Renew Codes
The latest EverKey update to the KeyBuild program restores the option to build Renew Codes that expire in 7 days. The default is to build Renew Codes that do not expire, but this can be changed from the Preferences panel. As always, each Renew Code can only be used once before it expires.
Expiring Renew Codes were actually built by default in EverKey Version 1.0, released in 1990. However, in those days, a Renew Code was typically sent by fax or post and the resulting delay often caused it to expire before it could be used. So, Az-Tech removed Expiring Renew Codes in EverKey Version 2. Now, this feature is being re-introduced, due to recent Customer demand.
In order to start using Expiring Renew Codes, you must update your KeyBuild and Renew programs to Version 6.7.1 or later. We have kept all non-Expiring Renew Codes backward compatible, so you will only need to email the new Renew program to EXISTING Customers who will use Expiring Renew Codes. Of course, for NEW Customers, we always recommend you provide the latest version of the Renew program.
This Release supports all 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Windows XP-SP2 thru Windows 8.1, including Pro and Enterprise Editions. Windows RT (ARM Tablet) is not supported.

SD Times Magazine
In August, Lisa Morgan at SD Times online magazine wrote an article about the top License Managers. It examined how they have evolved to handle the current business models that software developers are using to market their software.
EverKey was recognized for its ease-of-use, comprehensive marketing features and ability to reduce piracy risks.
From the SD Times article:
"EverKey allows fine-grain control of where and how software products are used. It provides the flexibility to market software as a standalone package, trial evaluation, or bundled with other products. Using EverKey, it is easy to control execution limits, time limits and feature limits. The product reduces software piracy risks, helps end customers comply with license agreements, and enables more effective marketing of software products."
Here's the link to the article on the SD Times website: Software Licensing Trends Mean Business.
The New KeyBuild Renew Codes Panel
Az-Tech has released an update to the KeyBuild program which adds the ability to build Renew Codes. Previously, this was done with the separate Kecodes program, which is no longer needed. Renew Codes allow you to remotely update the protection options in Keys that have already been installed by your Customer.
You can begin using this new feature immediately by just clicking on the Renew Codes panel tab, which is right next to the Build Keys panel tab. For backward compatibility, this version of KeyBuild builds all types of Renew Codes used by EverKey Version 2, including Codes used to update the User-Data Flags. Of course, you can now build Renew Codes to update the new Feature-Flags, which support the expanded Marketing features of EverKey Version 6. Feature-Flags can be individually or collectively turned On, Off or Set with a single Renew Code.
You can build up to 100 codes at a time and with Logging turned on (this is the default), you will always have a complete record of all Renew Codes built. For total automation of your Production, the Renew Codes can be built using Batch Mode, which allows a Parent Program or Batch File to completely control the KeyBuild process.
This Release supports all 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Windows XP-SP2 thru Windows 8.1, including Pro and Enterprise Editions. Windows RT (ARM Tablet) is not supported.
